I noticed the same thing on the CNN feed they run in the lobby at work. All sorts of talk about encryption being the reason that massive international intelligence apparatus was unable to prevent or predict the recent attacks in Paris. I'm not sure how much is talking points or how much is just commercial news media looking for an angle they can pitch as new insight. Either way, it was really weird to run across. There are so many factors at work here and so many conflicting motivations and policies and bits of info...yet the top story is about how long-existing, commonly available methods may have been used to thwart the combined intelligence agencies of the western world.
